Abstract:
A power module including a plurality of power die layers including power electronic components; a plurality of heat sink components operatively connected to multiple sides of each power electronic component; a plurality of electrically conductive layers contacting the plurality of heat sink components, wherein a power die layer and an electrically conductive layer sequentially alternate to form a stacked structure such that both ends of the stacked structure includes an end electrically conductive layer. A cooling path is integrated with each layer in the stacked structure. A housing unit houses the stacked structure. The power electronic components may include heat-producing electronic devices. The cooling path may accommodate any of a fluid and solid to liquid phase change materials. The fluid comes into direct contact with the power die layers, heat sink components, and electrically conductive layers.
